Transfer Your Stand-Alone License
About the License Transfer Utility
The License Transfer Utility is used only with stand-alone licenses. It transfers
a product license online from one computer to another, and ensures that the
product works only on the computer that contains the license. A single license
applies to all products in a product suite. When you transfer the license, any
installed products of the suite are disabled on the exporting computer, and
enabled on the importing computer.
For Windows-based products, you can install the License Transfer Utility from
the Install Tools & Utilities tab of the installer.
IMPORTANT To transfer a license, the Autodesk product must be installed on
both computers. In addition, you need an Internet connection, and an Autodesk
user ID and password, available from the Autodesk Register Once
website(https://registeronce.autodesk.com).
IMPORTANT If you are using Autodesk products on Mac OS X or Linux platforms,
see your product appendix for more information on how to install and start the
License Transfer Utility. After the utility is started, the procedures for exporting
and importing licenses are the same on all platforms.
The License Transfer Utility is a custom stand-alone installation option. During
installation, a shortcut is created. A shortcut is installed once per product, per
computer.
You can transfer a license to another computer temporarily or permanently.
For example, a temporary transfer enables you to use the Autodesk product
on a mobile computer while your main computer is being repaired or replaced.
License transfers rely on the product serial number. Before an Autodesk license
can be exported, it must be activated with the serial number and product key.
During license import, a previously activated and exported license is imported
to a product or suite installed with the same serial number. The activation is
transferred to the importing computer, completing the license transfer.
The number of concurrent license exports allowed is equal to the number of
seats you own. For example, if you own five seats you can have one export in
progress at a time.
When you upgrade your Autodesk product, you can no longer perform online
license transfers of the previous license.
